which 36" TV - are they all full of 'features'?

on the whole thing. Consequently my family are still watching TV on a 14"
Portable (the main tv died a while ago).
Which 36" CRT TV has the least problems (and the best picture)? I am
looking for anything under £2000, and sound is not important as I intend to
buy an AV Amp etc.
It is a sad state of affairs when you have to look for the TV with the least
problems as opposed to the TV with the best quality :(
I would have considered RP but my room is not big enough to accomodate the
huge screen sizes, and I have a requirement for the TV to be viewed from
quite an angle (which I believe is an issue for RP).
Thanks in advance for your replies -

I have the Sony and love it. The Panasonic seems to be very highly rated.
Just make sure you buy your TV from somewhere where you can changed it
easily i.e. John Lewis.
This way buy one if you dont like it you can swap it again or get a refund
without any hassle, you could give them all a try and then decide which one
you prefer!!

Sorry to butt in but have Sony sorted out the 'tie-line' problems or can
you still see these annoying little vertical lines on the picture ?
Cheers,

You'll see quite a lot of Sony Horror stories, some people have had 3 or 4
sets before they got one without a fault.

Why not consider a basic 28" TV for everyday viewing and a front
projector for 'specials'? You could get a decent combination of the
two for your 2000 quid.

delivery. Very pleased with it. I didnt go for the dolby digital one as like
yourself I am going to be working the sound via an amp anyway. Any info you

1. You would find it almost impossible to buy a [new] CRT TV.
2. HDMI and digital optical out now pretty standard (giving Dolby in the AV
amp) - this had Scarts.
3. Digital rather than analogue receiver.
4. A 32" (equivalent image size to a 36" CRT) TV would now cost you under
�200 - a bit more for a Pan'y. In real terms about 10% of the price ten
years ago!
I actually saw one of these vast CRT's (4:3 39"!)~2003. Quite a good
picture (for the time), but boy was it big and heavy, there must have been
claims from the delivery drivers for hernias and slipped discs etc. Even
the 36" was 42kg.

internal subwoofer, I think that demonstrates the size quite well!
The picture was better than the £200 Samsung flatscreen my wife uses
now, but my Panasonic plasma eclipses it in picture quality. Mind you: now
I have to tolerate fan noise where the old CRT was almost silent (save
for the 16000Hz tube whine).

D2-MAC.
Did widescreen well albeit in a letterbox.
Also had a woofer and the native sound was good.

is the same, and because the pixels are larger close up they are visible (OK
from normal distance). The old set had analog terrestial and SD satellite
via Scart. The new one has DTT and Freesat HD built in.
OTOH on HD the new one is far better.
Dolby to the AV amp as well so whilst the built in speaker are basic (OK for
news etc.) the sound is better too.
